Block evasion.
 * Sockpuppeteer: has edited articles about Indonesian pop groups since her first edit in Nov. 2014, particularly Super7 (band), 7icons and related articles.
 * First edit on 2014-11- 26 was to redlink to Super7 (band) in the existing article 7icons . This, like all of sockpuppeteer's edits, is from a mobile app. 2014-11-27 puppeteer adds an unreferenced awards table. Puppeteer removes prods and maintenance templates from articles on Indonesian pop bands and recordings: Bersama Meraih Mimpi:, Blink Indonesia: , Ajil Ditto (Super7): , Rheno (Super7): , Coboy Junior: , Cinta 7 Susun: , Jessy & 7 Sahabat: , etc. Puppeteer is warned about user talk page on 17 Dec. about unexplained removal of templates, but pays no attention. 5 January, puppeteer learns to use templates for social media ELs: . Adds another, nearly identical unreferenced awards table to another article in.
 * Adds incoherent machine translations of Indonesian plot summaries in . Removes AFD templates from Suka Suka Super Seven Dan Idola Cilik Dalam Habis Gelap Menuju Terang at, , , , , despite repeated warnings, and is subsequently blocked on 2015-01-15. This was the puppeteers last edit to date.


 * User:Ujang 2860: has made only 9 edits, all on 14 Jan. These include creating Bersama Meraih Mimpi, Jessy & 7 Sahabat and Suka Suka Super Seven Dan Idola Cilik Dalam Habis Gelap Menuju Terang all within a few minutes. 4 other edits are to Super7 (band).


 * User:Mezty mez fc has made only 14 edits, all within 45 minutes on 5 Jan. 8 of these were to create articles on members of Super 7, and a film in which one of them played a role. Most of these new articles are then immediately edited by puppeteer, e.g. speedy tag removal from Muhammad Fazzill Alditto:, speedy tag removal from Bryant Santoso: , speedy tag removal from Bryan Elmi Domani:.


 * User:AnissaLinda25: only one edit, creating Bidadari Takut Jatuh Cinta on 2015-02-02.


 * User:Angela Tee 57: a couple of dozen edits on 17 and 18 Jan, during puppeteer's block, mostly to Super7 (band) and 7icons, including removal of maintance templates from Super7 (band):, , and from 7icons: , . All edits have been by mobile app.


 * User:Uty iconia: 21 undeleted edits, all on 24 Jan. First two edits to undeleted articles were to Super7 (band). Third was to create The Adventure Of Super7. Dai Pritchard (talk) 22:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)


 * 7he Iconia: 33 edits, all on 2014-12-16. First 3 edits were to Super7 (band), the third being blanking the entire page in a hissy fit after another editor removed an incoherent machine translation from Indonesian of biographical information:. Fourth was to create Alvin Mayhard Lapian, member of Super7. Three hours after creation, puppeteer attempts a re-write of the infobox: . 7he Iconia also create unsourced BLPs Jose Christian (Super7) and Reynard (Super7), (edited by puppeteer three hours after creation, minutes after editing Alvin Mayhard Lapian), Rheno (Super7) (BLP prod removed by puppeteer 3 hours after creation ), Ajil Ditto (Super7) (BLP prod removed by puppeteer 3 hours after creation ) and Raza Adhanzio Khairasyid (edited by puppeteer 3 hours after creation ). Dai Pritchard (talk) 23:09, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

There's something of a pattern to the names: Natly, Mezty and Angela are the names of member of 7icons, and "Iconia" is the name of the official 7icons fan club.

The anonymous sockpuppets are legion. Here's a good example:
 * Special:Contributions/112.215.63.153: many edits to Super7 (band) and related articles. First edit was to Bidadari Takut Jatuh Cinta, minutes after creation:, and not long after, adds an incoherent machine translations from Indonesian of the plot summary: . All edits have been by mobile app.

This is only one of many IP sockpuppets, but is probably the most egregious offender on a single IP address: puppeteer hops IP addresses repeatedly for anonymous edits, so semi-protection will probably also be needed on the pages mentioned here following SPI. As I return this morning to update this, we're given two typical examples of what the IP socks have been doing for weeks:


 * Special:Contributions/114.121.128.18 (last night) removes the maintenance template from Super7 (band); replaces redlinks with interlanguage links to unreferenced fanpages on Indonesian WP; re-adds unreferenced sections on members and TV show appearances.


 * Special:Contributions/112.215.64.126( this morning): removes the maintenance template from The Adventure Of Super7, and replaces redlinks with interlanguage links to unreferenced fanpages on Indonesian WP ; edits a new article Bersama Meraih Mimpi (Super7 Album), seems this was a copy and paste by new sockpuppet User:FatinShidqiaProud, who copypasted The Adventure Of Super7 to create the article, but forgot to change any fields in the infobox, so returns as the usual mobile IP sock to fix it. Fine, I'll add the new sockpuppet below.


 * User:FatinShidqiaProud: only edit today was today to hastily create Bersama Meraih Mimpi (Super7 Album), see above. Dai Pritchard (talk) 06:32, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * User:JihanKarenina21: only edit was 1 Feb to create Aisyah Putri The Series: Jilbab In Love.


 * User:LindaANoor, only edits so far were 20 minutes after JihanKarenina21, editing Aisyah Putri The Series: Jilbab In Love (former Super7 member in the cast), with same references used in Bastian Steel Bukan Cowok Biasa (above). Both editors add loads of links to Indonesian WP. The following day, IP sock 112.215.63.153 (see above) adds an incoherent machine translation of the Indonesian plot summary, along with a in the cast list that turns the article's section layout into a marvellously challenging textual mosaic, another signature behaviour of almost all the IP socks . Dai Pritchard (talk) 11:27, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * User:JakartaLoveStory2: only edit so far is to create Say You Love Me (Songs Karel Susanteo), an unreadable machine translation from Indonesian WP article id:Say You Love Me (lagu), with interlanguage link to article about former member of Super7 to avoid speedy db-A9. Three minutes after creation, mobile extensive editing resumes from IP sock 112.215.63.194 . IP socks previous edits some minutes earlier had been to Super7 (band), 7icons, and one other article. Dai Pritchard (talk) 06:17, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * User:7heIconia ID: first and so far only 2 edits are to create Bryan Domani and Inbox (Television Show), both of which are then extensively edited minutes later by second new sock 7heIcons Iconia below.


 * User:7heIcons Iconia: first edit was to Karel Susanteo, four minutes after IP sock 114.121.128.46 removes its redirect to Super7 (band): . (Special:Contributions/114.121.128.46 had previously been editing Cherrybelle, Super7 (band) and 7icons.) Twenty minutes later, 7heIcons Iconia edits Inbox (Television Show), which is a copy and paste from id:Daysat, chopping out wrong data from the infobox, adding interlanguage links to articles on Indonesian WP , , etc. The result is an unreferenced sheaf of interlanguage links to Indonesian WP plus a Twitter EL, fairly typical for this editor. There's no bad machine translation of the plot summary from Indonesian this time: perhaps one will follow soon. Sock then goes on to edit Bryan Domani, with her trademark removal of the BLP prod , and the usual list of Indonesian WP links. Dai Pritchard (talk) 03:58, 10 February 2015 (UTC)


 * User:LuvliiIndo: only edits were to create Elovii and Swittins. One minute after creation of Elovii from a paste of Super7 (band): ., User:7heIcons Iconia commences correcting the Super7 info with info on the new band:, adding Indonesian interlanguage links and the usual Twitter link , and getting into her usual format with member timeline, list of fan clubs and Twitter usernames, Super7 (band) and 7icons as related acts, etc.:.
 * User:LuvliiIndo then creates Swittins from a paste of Elovii, and User:7heIcons Iconia commences editing 3 minutes later, replacing info on Elovii with info on Swittins , removing the speedy deletion tag , adding the usual Twitter EL, table of fan clubs and Twitter usernames , , and adding Super7 (band) and 7icons as related acts . Dai Pritchard (talk) 08:14, 11 February 2015 (UTC)


 * User:7heIcons091: single edit was creation of Adriel Susanteo. Minutes later, User:7heIcons Iconia commences adding the usual fanpage as above, and removing the BLP prod tag. Do I really need to provide more diffs? Can we have some action on this sockpuppeteer please? Dai Pritchard (talk) 00:15, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * User:7heIcons091 second edit is an overwrite of the redirect at Karel Susanteo, and 7heIcons Iconia immediately removes the BLP prod tag there too. Dai Pritchard (talk) 00:25, 12 February 2015 (UTC)


 * User:CherrybelleIndo90: Two edits so far: one to re-create Metzy FC's Muhammad Fazzill Alditto from redirect, and one to re-create Metzy FC's Alvin Lapian from redirect. An IP sock, 112.215.63.13, then immediately and repeatedly removes the BLP prods, as 7heIcons091 and 7heIcons Iconia have now been blocked for sockpuppetry. IP sock 112.215.63.13, meanwhile, has begun an edit-warring BLP prod tag snip-fest, on Adriel Susanteo, Karel Susanteo, Muhammad Fazzill Alditto, and Alvin Lapian. I've reported the address at WP:AIV, but the pages will probably need semi-protection. An AFD may also be in order for some of the band member bios, but let's first get the sockpuppetry under control. Dai Pritchard (talk) 01:15, 12 February 2015 (UTC)


 * User:7heIconia ofc: only one edit, and as usual it's to create an article and then step aside to let an IP sock do the work. The adventure of super7, which is mostly a paste from Super7 (band) plus a track listing and infobox pasted from the Indonesian article: . IP sock Special:Contributions/112.215.64.48 then gets straight to work removing the band article:, and walks away from the usual unreferenced mess.
 * Special:Contributions/112.215.64.48 took an unusually long 20 minutes to edit the new article this time, as she was busy removing the BLP prod from the Alvin Lapian article that User:CherrybelleIndo90 and IP sock 112.215.63.13 had been working on yesterday:, and bizarrely attempting to paste this new article to Super7 (band): , then attempting to clean up her damage: , etc. Dai Pritchard (talk) 08:38, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The accounts all show a consistent topic of interest and a similar trend of the account creating the article and then the IP expanding the article. Mike V • Talk 02:06, 10 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Checkuser comments: First off, it is important to note that the main topic focus of the accounts listed above is a band that is roughly the Indonesian equivalent of One Direction; that is, an extremely popular band targeted at youth, with lots of related activities and crossovers into multiple media formats. In other words, young multilingual Indonesians will likely find this a very notable and interesting topic for Wikipedia participation. (It might say something about the multicultural community that I live in that I recognized the name of this band immediately, whereas I struggled to think of a "western" counterpart, and initially suggested Backstreet Boys. A colleague set me straight.)  As well, editing via mobiles/tablets or using mobile ISPs is also pretty much the norm in this region of the world, so we are dealing with very dynamic IP addresses.  Thus, all of these results should be considered no firmer than, and some will be no firmer than .   on any IP addresses.

Having said all that, there appear to be a few groupings that have close enough parallels to be noteworthy, as follows:
 * Group 1 -


 * Group 2-


 * Group 3 - Getting more complex, the following accounts are related to each other, and may be related to Group 2


 * Group 4 -


 * Group 5 -


 * Group 6 - related to any other accounts

And wow, that took a couple of hours.... Risker (talk) 05:18, 10 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I've blocked all of the likely accounts as related to each other. For group 5-6, I'm not entirely sure they're the same, given the popularity of the subject matter. I've blocked all but one account for those two categories. Mike V • Talk 01:15, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * your comment about groups 5-6 is inconsistent with the blocks. Two accounts are unblocked, one in each group. What did you intend? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:29, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * By "I'm not entirely sure they're the same", I was referring to the accounts being related to the named master here. Risker confirmed the accounts listed in the groups as confirmed to each other, so I blocked all but one in group 5 and 6. Mike V • Talk 00:34, 16 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Just saw the discussion above, sorry I didn't check in sooner. Group 5 is inconclusive, that means I can't confirm them as socks of any of the other groups, although they're probably worth watching; none of them need to be blocked for socking.  Group 6 is accounts that are completely unrelated to any socks, and shouldn't be blocked for socking.  Mind you, if they've misbehaved in some other way, feel free to block for those reasons.

WP:DUCK, almost certainly a block evasion. User immediately began editing Super 7 (band) and Swittins, as blocked sock User:7heIcons Iconia did. Blatant user name similarities to some other blocked Natly 88 socks e.g. User:7he Iconia. New article creation Anak Indonesia (Album) is also noted, which demonstrates some prior WP experience (i.e. non-newbie). Dl2000 (talk) 05:03, 5 March 2015 (UTC) Block evasion. Minutes after an IP sock removed the speedy tag and maintenance tags from Anak Indonesia, this new sock makes its first edit to the same article, linking it to Super7 (band). Sock then adds a link in Swittins to Anak Indonesia (Album), the original name this morning of Anak Indonesia created by above sock User:Natly7heIcons, prior to its rename. .

 * Duck. First edit was to create Anak Indonesia, previously attempted by blocked sock User:Uty iconia. Minutes later editing resumed by IP sock Special:Contributions/112.215.64.249. Next edits were to add her usual unreferenced table of member and fan club info to Swittins: . Rounds off her contributions by removing maintenance templates from Super7 (band): . Dai Pritchard (talk) 08:59, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * We can add one more to the sock parade:
 * That account started editing less than 5 hours ago, repeatedly undoing a redirect on a nn BLP of a Super 7 band member, and of course the usual horseplay on Super 7 (band) itself. Dl2000 (talk) 04:55, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

 * - . Because of the large number of socks previously encountered in short time-span, I'm endorsing the CU to check for sleepers.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:14, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I had a quick look, but the results are complicated and probably aren't worth the effort at this stage. I'd suggest what watching and using WP:RBI and page protection for consistent targets. If it gets really bad we can try again but blocks likely aren't going to be possible at the moment anyway. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:52, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Duck. TaufikIconia's third edit, a few minutes after the first, was to add an unreadable machine translation from Indonesian to The Adventure Of Super7:. 10 minutes later, adds the usual interlanguage link to id:Keci Music:. Two minutes later, removes a template from Super7 (band), adds an interlanguage link to id:Keci Music, and a link to Karel Susanteo (Singer): Karel Susanteo has not yet been salted, so the parenthesised title was presumably used to avoid creating it under the name with which it was previously created by blocked socks User:Mezty mez fc and User:7heIconia ID, and edited by other blocked socks User:7heIcons Iconia, User:7heIcons091, and User:CherrybelleIndo90. Dai Pritchard (talk) 09:54, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

7heIconia09's first edit, half an hour after I reverted TaufikIconia's addition to Super7 (band), is to re-add the link to the strangely parenthesised Karel Susanteo (Singer):. A minute later, she creates Karel Susanteo (Singer), unreferenced BLP identical to the previous versions of Karel Susanteo, with the usual unreadable machine translation from Indonesian, the social media links, etc.:. When it's BLP prodded by User:Joseph2302, she de-prods it 20 minutes later, with a ref:. Note the usual misspelling "diskography", and the use of "filmography" for the film and TV appearances section.

As can be seen from the archive (and here), her tactic is to create throwaway accounts, and repeat the sockpuppetry. We could salt Karel Susanteo, and semi-protect her other favourite articles, or we could keep on playing whack-a-mole with her throwaway accounts. Dai Pritchard (talk) 10:04, 18 March 2015 (UTC)


 * No, she's reusing an account this time. TaufikIconia just added more interlanguage links to Karel Susanteo (Singer): . Dai Pritchard (talk) 23:23, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Ducks. User:7heiconiaaaas: only edit was to re-create unreferenced BLP of deleted Karel Susanteo at Karel Susanteo (actor):. Previous attempt was at Karel Susanteo (Singer): though Karel Susanteo has not yet been salted, so the parenthesised title is agin presumably used to avoid creating it under the name with which it was previously created by blocked socks User:Mezty mez fc and User:7heIconia ID, and edited by other blocked socks User:7heIcons Iconia, User:7heIcons091, and User:CherrybelleIndo90.

Second new sock User:IconiaOfc1 resumes editing Karel Susanteo (actor) two minutes later, and as usual removes the speedy tag:. Sock then goes on to add new article to Super7 (band) and the rest of the Super7 walled garden, as usual. Dai Pritchard (talk) 10:13, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

As with previous Natly 88 socks, edits involve Indonesian pop bands. Username ("Iconia", number) shows similar pattern to previous socks, the account has only edited Super7 (band). Just added an unref/nn "New Super 7" (similar to this previous edit from blocked sock User:7heicons383), after last month's temp block and sock warning from. Clearly seems WP:LTA WP:DUCK.

Unexplained editing and possible block evasion on Indonesian pop culture related articles, similar to previous socks of Natly 88. First edit 15 January 2016; follows Natly 88 sock block of similar username in mid-December. e.g. unjustified tag deletions of Taufik1306ID1 with Taufikfikhyt13; Editor Interaction Analyser indicates high correlation between Taufik1306ID1 & Taufikfikhyt13, and both these users rev histories are generally flagged as mobile app edits.

These editors are WP:SPA accounts for Indonesian TV shows. Taufik271hyt's user name is a direct continuation of past SOCKs of Natly 88 that were based on "Taufik". The Taufik here created about 6 crappy articles on TV shows and RizkyMadani immediately followed and started editing them. Seems pretty clear. Jytdog (talk) 05:22, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Duck: ZaskiaNaufan2's sole edits so far were to create Salam (TV series), identical in Google cache to Salam (soap opera); Super Puber, Mermaid In Love, and Kita Nikah Yuk. ZaskiaNaufan2 then steps aside to allow second puppet Dieraindah62 to take over editing minutes later on each one. All four articles were recently speedied G5 for blocked puppeteer Natly 88.

was blocked in Feb 2015 for a single edit creating Bidadari Takut Jatuh Cinta about an Indonesian musical comedy drama television soap opera; likewise. A very similar pattern is seen for the first listed above, as creators of Jakarta Love Story, Madun (TV series) & Sajadah Cinta Maryam, Rain (TV series) (by TheIcons7 & 7heiconianat), and Rajawali (sinetron).

, already globally locked for long-term abuse and tagged as a probably sock of Natly 88, also appears to be part of this pattern, having created Bastian Steel Bukan Cowok Biasa as well as pages for members of Natly 88's hot topic Super7 (band).

The above are 2015 accounts, no longer active. Nor is who created another Indonesian soap article Asisten Rumah Tangga in March 2016.

has been blocked as a sock of Natly 88, but not who created 5 articles in June 2016 where Taufikkkk282 followed up. created 2 more Indonesian soap opera articles, and is evidently a sock.

Now there is the newly-registered account who, both logged in and also logged out as 114.124.0.251 and 114.121.152.31, has this month created several more pages about Indonesian soaps. There is the same pattern of creating full articles in a single edit, albeit followed up by IP edits.

And today there are two new socks,, which created Betapa Aku Mencintaimu, followed up by. – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:38, 29 July 2016 (UTC)


 * As Natly 88 with his many socks has created almost all the articles on Indonesian television soaps from 2013 to date, has anyone checked whether he may be the same editor as who was doing that in 2012, until blocked in 2013? – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:37, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Again a flurry of badly done Indonesian movie articles has been created, many of which were created and deleted by prior socks:
 * UthyYudistira: Mermaid In Love (previously created), Kutukan Cinta Sang Bintang. and Betapa Aku Mencintaimu
 * PutriIndah2828: Super Puber, Magic Cinta (soap opera), and Julaiha Princess Betawi,
 * Oktavinita created I Can See Your Voice Indonesia
 * BTarlau worked only on Kau Seputih Melati and Bob Tarlau
 * Taufikhyt12 (appears to be an older one we missed, from March): Kau Seputih Melati, Anak Jalanan, Draft:Toba Dreams
 * Mastermind7898 edited only Anak Jalanan created by blocked sock

Duck: first edit was an empty protected edit request at Talk:Bryan Domani, ostensibly hoping to get it unprotected. Bryan Domani is a LTA target for many blocked sockpuppets of this puppeteer. 10 minutes later (long before there's a reply to the request), she simply recreates the article at Bryan Domani (actor), which was previously created by blocked socks User:7heIconiafc8 and User:TaufikIconia.

Oddly, I ran across this account while sockhunting for blocked puppeteer User:Joanna Gunadi, though I see no evidence the two accounts are linked - I think we're simply looking at two Indonesian puppeteers. Wikishovel (talk) 15:44, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

User name similar to an editor indeffed as sock. Looking through the archive, there are a slew of Taufik* user names, so this seems pretty ducky. TaufikKapoor07 intersects with Taufik1306ID1 at Bidadari Takut Jatuh Cinta, where they also intersect with, yet another Natly 88 sock.

Last sock was blocked on 8/10, Im Taufik was created back in 2016 but didn't start editing until after the prior sock was blocked (edits started on 8/14). The interaction between the two is noticeable. Obvious name similarities as well to several prior socks.

For Rizkimadani02 User name is VERY similar to, prior Natly 88 sock. Overlap between just those two users is surprisingly high. This user and the sock both like to add wikilinks to the ID wikipedia for actors.  Ravensfire  (talk) 02:52, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

For TaufikMehra User name starts with Taufik, see the 11 previous socks also using that. TaufikMehra has added the same ID Wikipedia wikilink as creator to multiple articles, , which prior socks have done , ,. The use of ID wikilinks is a pretty solid tell for Natly.

CU is to check similarity of the two new socks and for possible sleepers.  Ravensfire  (talk) 02:59, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
